On March 8th, 2014, Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, with 239 people on board, disappeared into the dark of the night, never to be heard from again. The disappearance of MH370 has been described as the “greatest mystery in the history of aviation“. Despite the efforts of an international investigation team, and millions of dollars spent searching the ocean bottom for the wreckage site, no one has been able to determine what really happened. Until now...

For this book, three professional accident investigators, each with decades of real-world experience in crash dynamics, examined the available evidence. The results of their work reveal the actual sequence of events, and what really happened to MH370. This book uses plain language, easy to understand schematics, and clear photos of the actual wreckage to bring the evidence to life. Even those with little or no aviation connection will be able to understand and appreciate the validity of this eye-opening analysis.

You will see that the official investigation was deficient. They missed, or misinterpreted, crucial evidence that was available on the recovered wreckage pieces. Therefore, they used incorrect assumptions about what was happening onboard MH370 when they calculated the boundaries for their search zones. This book will reveal why the multi-million dollar ocean bottom search efforts had almost no chance of success.

You will be guided through a basic investigation and analysis process to show what caused MH370 to disappear from radar, and to fly on an unexplained and mysterious track that led to the southern Indian Ocean.

Many people have presented theories to try to explain the MH370 disappearance. This book shows you a basic investigation framework where theories that are based on speculation and guesswork can be invalidated. You are left with only one scenario that is totally based on confirmed facts. The known and indisputable evidence fits with only one chain of events, and that is the chain of events presented by the author.

A very strong position of a pilot controlled criminal act is put forward and the evidence is stacked up behind it. Pretty compelling. It’s hard to understand why the official investigation is so at odds with this conclusion. If there’s one thing that stands out for me is the condition of the flaperon. If you accept a high speed nose dive crash into the Indian Ocean at over 800km/h where the entire 62 metre plane is destroyed in 1/3rd of a second, why did a relatively intact and ‘pristine’ flaperon wash up on a beach. With the dynamic crushing forces created, it’s just not possible for the flaperon to be intact. I’m sure there are people lining up to shoot down the information in this book. I’ll be finding those and reading them but it’s really hard to go past this simple piece of common sense.

5.0 out of 5 starsA Service to All

26 May 2018 - Published on Amazon.com

With his book, Mr. Vance has done a service to all the constituencies who care about the fate of MH370: the aviation industry, professional accident investigators, and most of all, the families of passengers on board the flight. One assumes, as you or I would, all of these communities want the truth.

The author’s careful marshaling of evidence for an approach/landing speed ocean ditching, flaps down, is a reasonable conclusion to me as a pilot (not ATP, but multi-engine instrument rated) given the physical evidence presented in the book. No pilot-in-command is EVER unmindful of the souls on board for whom he or she is responsible. So the most unsatisfying aspect of the book is the author’s inability to address the motivation or psychological reasons that one or both of the pilots would do what the evidence suggests at least one of them did.

Nevertheless, it is to the author’s credit he says, paraphrasing him, “I’m a competent professional aviation accident investigator with decades of experience. I am not competent to assess the psychological state of the pilots or ascertain a motivation.” This prudence argues for paying attention to the definitive conclusions he reaches with respect to the physical evidence.

One hopes, as the author does, that this book will prompt revisiting the findings of the accident investigation for the sake of the science and the profession, as well as (and most all) for the families.

The premise of this book is that the loss of MH370 can be explained as a deliberate act by the pilot to plan and execute the controlled ditching and disappearance of MH370 into the deep dark hostile southern Indian Ocean. If the evidence presented in this book are valid, then the conclusion of the author could be true. A quick read and worth checking out if you are interested in the mystery of MH370.

The book goes into great depth regarding the various items found from MH370 and what the undeniable conclusions mean regarding the fate of the missing aircraft. My only disappointment was the lack of a proposed resting site based on these answers. Anyone interested in the MH370 investigation should definitely read this book.

As a retired airline pilot I always believed this is what happened. Looking at the picture of the recovered flaparon I can understand fully that the aircraft was soft landed in the water, Thank you Larry Vance. Tom V

Breathtaking analysis and evidence about the MH370 tragedy. Takes the reader through the events, search, investigation and suspected ocean ditching. Highly recommended especially if you like reading about the aviation industry but even if you don't.
